I would like to know the meaning of the next sentence.

Unattended children will be given a double espresso and a free puppy


I recently attended a small business marketing seminar at which the speaker used actual examples to reinforce her teaching points.She told a delightful story about a coffee shop that distinguished itself from the competition by prominently displaying a warning sign that read: "Unattended children will be given a double espresso and a free puppy!"

I wonder why the next sentence is a warning sign.

Unattended children will be given a double espresso and a free puppy

I think you are saying that you know the meanings of all the words.

In that case let's think this through.

Who is responsible for children? Why were they unattended? Is it good or bad to leave children unattended? Who is to blame for the fact that they are unattended?

What should we do to people who leave a child unattended? How can we punish them? How about if we make life miserable for them? Maybe when they return and find their child, they will feel punished if their child is unmanageable and can't be controlled.

What ingredient is in espesso? How would that change a child's behavior? What kind of behavior do puppies have? What if the child also has a puppy to play with? Will that make him more calm or more active? With a lot of espresso and a puppy, can we make the child become wild and uncontrollable? What would happen if someone tried to take the puppy away from the child? What reaction would that cause? Would that make life more pleasant or less pleasant for those who left the child unattended in the first place?


Any ideas so far?
